Tons of tulle

Bringing things back down to earth again, designers turned to tulle. From fishtails to over-skirts and layered ballgown skirts, tulle has been incorporated across an array of silhouettes.

Pale blue

A number of designers incorporated pale blue hues for spring and it was the colour of choice for two J Mendel strapless styles; a pleated chiffon asymmetrical dress, and a metallic embellished gown. Angel Sanchez’s stole the show with a gorgeous light blue racer back gown featuring floral applique.

Modern ball gowns

Randi Rahm’s ball gown features a traditional, floaty full skirt paired with a structured bodice which adds a stylish edge. Sachin & Babbi Bridal added an oversize bow to their ball gown style – waist bows made an appearance in Spring 2016 collections and the trend is set to continue into the new year.

Dots

2017 designers are going dotty over this one. While gemstones and sequins are the embellishment of choice for 2016, designers have incorporated lots of miniature dots in to next year’s collections.
